  1. Maurice - I tried several of the steps in the article you referenced to no avail but the Noscript addon seems to have done the trick. Thanks for all your help! (I'm still confused as to why this is affecting only one of my computers. My other LT and my DT are unaffected. Oh, well! I'll probably install Noscript on them as well.) Very gratefully, John
  2. Thanks again. I will. I looked briefly at the Firefox instructions in your earlier link. The menus in Tools have changed for this latest release so there are some steps that I can't take there. I'll do what I can and see what happens. John
  3. I'm using XP Pro and use Firefox 20.0.1 almost exclusively but I checked those problematic sites using I.E. 8.0 and the same thing happened. Thank you! I'll read up on this tonight. John
  4. So, it's ads on these commercial sites that are trying to infiltrate my machine? Well, that sucks! At least Malwarebytes is stopping them! I'm still confused about the "outgoing" indication. I'd expect that would mean something that my computer is trying to transmit and that "incoming" would refer to an outside threat. Thanks! John
  5. Hi - Thanks for the suggestion. I did as you asked and got no warnings. As I mentioned in my initial post, I only seem to get them when I visit vertain websites. Yahoo, eBay and C-Net are examples. I can usually provoke a warning by visiting one of these sites. As soon as the page opens the balloon will pop up. In the case of eBay, I usually (but not always) have to open the page for a listing, not just the main eBay page. Same for C-Net. The balloon will pop up while the page is still loading and often the page won't finish loading. If the page is allowed to continue trying to load, more balloonns pop up. Oh, and a correction to my initial post. The first IP address is 50.97.214.162. Thanks, John
  6. Thanks for the reply. So, the fact that Malwarebytes can't find an infection is that there isn't one? I'm confused, though. I thought that the "outgoing" meant that the threat was coming from my computer. Thanks, John
  7. HI - Over the past 2 or 3 days, I've been getting repeated warnings as follows: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website: 50.97.214.152 50.97.218.220 Type: outgoing The alerts are only occurring on some sites. I get them on eBay, Yahoo, C-Net and maybe a few others. Visits to most sites don't generate a warning. Of course, there is only one IP address with each warning. The two IP addresses above have appeared more than once and I believe there are some other IP addresses that have appeared but that I haven's recorded. The two above are registered to Blue Kai, Inc. which looks like a VERY nasty place. Here's a "whois" for one of the IP addresses. [Querying whois.arin.net] [Redirected to rwhois.softlayer.com:4321] [Querying rwhois.softlayer.com] [rwhois.softlayer.com] %rwhois V-1.5:003fff:00 rwhois.softlayer.com (by Network Solutions, Inc. V-1.5.9.5) network:Class-Name:network network:ID:NETBLK-SOFTLAYER.50.97.192.0/18 network:Auth-Area:50.97.192.0/18 network:Network-Name:SOFTLAYER-50.97.192.0 network:IP-Network:50.97.218.220/32 network:IP-Network-Block:50.97.218.220-50.97.218.220 network:Organization;I:Blue Kai, Inc. network:Street-Address:20883 Stevens Creek Blvd Suite 200 network:City:Cupertino network:State:CA network:Postal-Code:95014 network:Country-Code:US network:Tech-Contact;I:sysadmins@softlayer.com network:Abuse-Contact;I:tenersen@bluekai.com network:Admin-Contact;I:IPADM258-ARIN network:Created:2011-09-01 15:35:23 network:Updated:2012-10-09 17:47:11 network:Updated-By:ipadmin@softlayer.com Here's the weird part. Malwarebytes says my computer is clean. So do Avast, SpyBot, SUPERantispyware and Kaspersky TDDSKiller. How do I cure an infection I can't find short of formatting the HD? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks, John
